mPRovED ANvIL AND vrsE CQMBINED.

The Schedule referred` to in these Letters Patent and makingpaxt Gf thelame.

To all whom fit may concern.-

Be it known that I, R. D. CHANDLER, of Fairhaven, in the county ofMonmouth, and State of New Jersey, have invented a. new and improvedCombined Anvil and Vise; and I do hereby declare that the following.

is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable thoseskilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to theaccompanying drawings, forming part of this specification.

This invention relates to a combination Vof two wellknown articles, theblacksmiths anvil and iron'vvise.

And the invention consists in attaching the` vise to the anvil, so 4thatit is immediately under the eye of the blacksmith,- and extreinely'handyfor him to use in heading bolts, and for other purposes.

Figure l is a top View of the anvil and vvise combined.

Figure 2 is a back-end view of the same.

Similailetters of reference indicate corresponding part-s. l

The anvil is made in the ordinary form, but its length may be somewhatgreater-than the common anvil, for the purpose ot' giving room for thevise.

A is the anvil.

B represents the vise.

In forming the anvil, orifices are made through it for the screw C, andthe steadybar D of the vise.

A screw-thread is out in the screw-orifice E, to engage with the screw,ora cavity may he formed in the anvil to secure a screw-nut, as maybemostdesirable, but I prefer to cut the thread for the screw directly inthe anvil, as seen in the drawing.

The bar .D slides hack and forth in its orifice F, as the jaw G of thevise is extended, or screwed up.

Detachable circnlar blocks hr h, may he attached to the anvil and jaw(as seen) by dowel-pins, or otherwise, for forming or bendingwagon-tire, as seen in the drawing.

In forming the heads of bolts, orin upset-ting pieces of iron or steel,-thc vise arranged in this manner is extremely convenient, as snch work'must be donc while the iron ishot; and when the smith is obliged tocarry the hot iron across the shop to use -the vise, the operation mustnecessarily he imperfect.A v

By'this arrangement he not only hasa solid foundation for his vise, buthe'has the vise just where he wants it.

I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent- Y v The anviland vise, constructed, combined, andarranged, as herein described andshown.

It. D. CHANDLER.
